Freddie Mercury the best, only.

Brian May came into the NAPA car parts store in Flagstaff in 2017, all the counter men knew by the hair and clothes and jewelry he had to be "somebody", I was the only guy old enough in the store to know who he was! Really nice and personable guy.

Brian May, he is just a cool dude and every time I see him in an interview he just lifts me up 🙂

There will never be another frontman like Freddie Mercury.

For such an astonishing and brilliant musician, Brian May is an incredibly modest and unassuming man.

Freddy Mercury was the best lead singer of any band. His octave range was incredible and amazing. I grew up listening to Queen and they’ll always be one of my favorite bands. Freddie Mercury died one month after my brother aids. There is the day that goes by that I don’t miss the two of them. 😭

I love when Sammy was talking about Sir Brian May being a singer as well, and Brian subtly said “Yeah but not like you are” that was such a cool moment for Brian to recognize how good Sammy is as a singer

Brian is the true gentleman. So down to earth - respect.

Brian looks great. Great job keeping the Freddie and Queen legacy going. Brian is a living legend. Queen Forever!

6:36 “there is life after addiction” as someone that’s been sober for 11 years, that is the truest things I’ve ever heard

Queen was the greatest show I ever seen. Freddie was the finest singer I ever heard.

I love the fact that Sir Brian always talks so beautifully about his guitar-idol, Rory Gallagher. Rory was an inspiration to so many, how sorely missed he is.

Brian never fails to give Rory Gallagher a mention..

I don't know about everyone else but for me Freddie Mercury was the most brilliant frontman in rock history. And there 'are' so many other front men to compare Freddie with. I truly envy ALL who got to see Freddie live - I mean I watch the footage and Freddie for me had that incalculable gift of 'connecting' with what were HUGE audiences. And I would also add, as Brian says here, as it has been documented so well, Freddie knew he was 'on a clock' and just told his bandmates to "give me material and I'll sing". Think about that - with effectively no real medical options- treatment available, Freddie 'could' have just passed away peacefully as he'd stopped taking medication. But he only wanted, in his dying days, to 'create' music. Amazing.

Brian may has the best guitar sound!

How great is it for rock & roll heavyweights to converse openly about their history and insights, especially as gentlemen.

The Show Must Go On is such a great track. Knowing that Freddie was struggling so much, and yet that amazing vocal poured from him is 🤯.

Freddie can never be replaced. He is like no other, but if anyone can join the band and continue the legacy, it is Adam.

Joe Walsh is a class act. Have loved him since the James Gang. He’s the real deal. Brian May has his feet on the floor- never an ego-maniac. Two of my all time favorite guitarists! And Sammy ROCKS! 😁👍🎸❤️

Happy Birthday 77 years strong Brian, we will love and miss Freddie forever.

Freddie was a great talent, RIP

I still tear up every time Brian talks about Freddie. And, like others have said, I love that he gives Rory Gallagher his due. Rory was not that well-known here in the States back in the 70s, but me being the blues nerd that I was, I found him somehow. I was lucky enough to see him play live at the Beacon Theater in NYC in 1974. What a great show! I still have him on vinyl.

We love you Freddie, youve gone on to better things. Hope your rocking in heaven, see you soon Fred. Love from Liverpool.

Two of the nicest dudes in music history haveing a chat. How can you beat that?!

OMGosh!! Luv all these people Sammy interviewed!!!❤ including Sammy!!!❤

I dont Care what Sammy is doin or who he is with I will watch him. He has an infectious personality and is so relatable you think you know him. and i`ve been listening and watching Sammy since the 70s. One of my Top Music Heroes, I love Sammys writing and He Kranks out the Rock N Roll. SAMMY, YOU ARE DA MAN !!!

Big fan of Sammy and the King!! Awesome to see the Red Rocker was a fan of Elvis as well!! Suspicious Minds never gets old!!

Enjoy listening to Brian talking & explaining his RS.. he tells it so you can understand what he's talking about.

I want to be this cool at 76! Wow, Brian is like a kid.

Joe Walsh could be an addictions counselor in his spare time. Words of wisdom. Everyone should listen!

Truly grateful to Sammy for interviewing these legends of Rock. It's always so great to hear what these guys have to say. Sammy; please do as many more of these as you can brother man. We Love It!!!

From memphis. I love how much y’all love Elvis. I listened to 5150 today again on good speakers and still chill bumps. Can’t wait to back to Cabo wabo Thank you!

Sammy is a great interviewer, it comes naturally for him..

Joe Walsh and Brian May are so great.

I am a Substance Use Disorder Counselor, and Joe Walsh is absolutely correct. At first, you do something because it helps you cope, then it doesn't work then you find yourself it's slave. Awesome!

I was one of the fortunate ones to be able to see Queen in concert with Freddie Mercury in 1979. No words to describe how I felt that night - 16 years old and rocking to live Queen, who I was introduced to by my older brothers. I think Adam Lambert joining Queen is one of those things that was meant to be - destiny, because it would not have sounded right or felt right otherwise. I hope to be able to see these guys live some day soon!

Joe Walsh, is the very rare musician/singer, whose speaking voice is identical to his singing voice.

Brian May & Roy Thomas Baker were a force of nature.

Love u Sammy! What a good energy that u deliver buddy !

Brian seems like a really great guy with a lot of class.

Always loved Sammy's voice👍💯

Both of these men are in their mid-late 70s. Amazing, aged-like-wine rockers that changed the history of rock and roll; God bless Hagar and May 🤘✊

I was fortunate enough to have been invited to his son's wedding and was able to talk to Sammy a bit. His littlest son was with him in the crowd watching the newlyweds cut the cake, and the youngster was a little restless and happened to step back on my foot. Sammy noticed and apologized and said "he's drunk". This little kid was about 8 yrs. old! Really funny. I had also just a month or so before this talked to Brian. My sister and I caught him in front of his house in L.A. and he was SO gracious to stand there and talk to us for an hour! His first question was "Have you read the "Celestine Prophecy"? Every time you said something that he took as a compliment, he hugged you. My knees buckled about 3 times.....a beautiful and brilliant man.

Love you Sammy

Hell yeah Joe Walsh! What a powerful message!

RIP Freddie he was a brave man facing death

"if you can break through to a new generation..." i never thought about that but its so true. These guys are such class acts.

How cool. Sammy interviewing Brian May AND Joe Walsh. Tow absolute legends. And Jeff Skunk Baxter coming out of the door when Sammy's talking to Paul Shaffer. 👌

Before this medium...we saw them on stage and heard glib responses to silly questions...Sammy asks questions, yes indeed...but if they were pointless ones, we would never get the real person coming through....I'm 71...have been part of it as it arrived here today..we see these performers now , see them talk.....Literally watched the James gang in Glasgow Scotland..."Seems to me..They all want to talk about it".....To watch the humbleness of these we saw on stage, now years later has made the music so much sweeter...I used to watch Rory Gallagher play in the middle of the night also in Glasgow, only found out Brian May was driven by his methods....Thanks Sammy for another glimpse into who our musical idols truly are....

Love Sammy, so cool. They all are that he is interviewing.

Keeping Queen going is fine by me & many many more ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️🙏

Dave Grohl and Sammy Hagar are the two coolest dudes in rock, hands down. I wonder if they've ever collaborated. Sure would be something great if they ever do. And when Sammy sang a line from James Browns "I Feel Good", that was just off the charts with soul. Amazing!!

Joe’s the man, so much respect!

Love these Sammy interviews. Going to see him Saturday!

Love Joe❤ Good to see everybody healthy and thriving. Too old to die young.

All Queen band members are classy. Queen is a fitting title.

Love both these guys. True gentlemen.

The band members loved him /love so much!❤❤❤❤

we love u joe walsh !! paul!! tanya !!

both of you guys are complete class acts. Much love to you both!

brian is always pure class. love paul shaffer.

I got to see Tanya live three times in my life and Like Sammy they both can fill a stadium with their voice without any amplifiers.

i love love Joe Walsh.. And Brian will always be mt first crush!!!!

Sammy is so down to earth

Wow, wow, wow! Talk about a star studded cast! I even caught a little glimpse of Albert Lee sneaking out of his dressing room!

Whrn you just hear haw he speak and intonation od speech you realize imidiattly haw big gentleman he is

what a great episode..................may,hagar and walsh.........................gotta love joe walsh

Brian insists on convincing us that Adam has a greater voice than Freddie. I've listened to both in live recordings and there's no real comparison, Freddie is from another galaxy. I'm glad that Queen keeps touring but, for me, Adam just doesn't have the right voice.

Agreed! Additionally, I loved Brian May’s reaction at George Michael singing Somebody to Love at the rehearsal/tribute for Freddie in 1992. Such a kind person/musician to express his approval.

Thank you Sammy!!! Red Rocker!! Love it!!

I've been blessed enough to meet Sir Brian (and he told me not to call him "Sir"), Sammy, and Jim Burton.... Not a bum in the lot. They are all absolute legends and they know it. The big thing is, they don't let you know that they know who they are.

I've never been a big fan of Sammy's music, but as a person, he seems like a real super cool guy. Someone you could have a drink with, or, if you don't like drinking anymore, you could still hang with and just sling the BS. He's great.

Jeff “Skunk” Baxter pops out of the dressing room at 7:42

Joe Walsh nails it about both the level of fame in order to stay, plus how addiction and sobriety work.

Love those guys!

Makes me tearful...

Loved this

Freddie's the greatest there ever was

Rock n Roll Icons!

Geweldig goede man en gitarist 😊😊Brain May 😊😊😊

Sammy says Brian has done the best with the Freddie/Queen legacy. I have to point out that the movie Bohemian Rhapsody was (for me) a huge lack of respect. The amount of facts rearranged, changed, and invented bordered on criminal. Love Queen and was there from the beginning. I yelled at the screen so much pointing out inaccuracies. Freddy and his life was so cool that it didn't need any changes or Hollywood embellishments.

Freddie was music and entertainment i was lucky enough to see Queen at Wembley in 86. Bri and Roger must have tough to carry on without Freddie being on-stage

Brian may has always had class

What an interesting life he's lived and he's an Astrophysicist to boot

The rocking Astro physicist

While Sammy is talking to Paul Shaffer, Jeff the Skunk Baxter walked out of the dressing room! I would have been like "hang on Paul I'll be back in a minute!"

I love the framed poster on the wall

God I hate getting old.

It´s very inspiring to see classic rockers who have aged well and seem to have life by the balls´n slit. Wow to have lived 40-60 years of healthy and "unhealthy" rock´n rollª!

I’ve been a fan of Queen since I was a teenager. I love every single album and almost every song in them ( there are some I don’t really care for) I also like "The Cosmos Rock" with Paul Rodgers, which I don’t know why that album isn’t on Spotify anymore. But I do like Queen + Adam Lambert, he’s an amazing singer, flamboyant and has stage presence. He’s giving us the chance to see Brian and Roger touring and rocking again just like Paul did. I do not agree with anyone comparing them with Freddie; stop that!. Especially comparing Adam with Freddie. It’s ridiculous. Adam has his own personality and he’s not trying to imitate or act like him. He just took a job Brian and Roger offered him to do. He doesn’t have to fill Freddie’s shoes, we all know no one can. But he brings life to his songs his own way and the co-writers and Freddie’s mates are backing him up right there on stage giving Adam the privilege to sing them and that’s all that matters. Just sing along, enjoy the music, the beautiful songs, feel the good vibes. Otherwise stop comparing, criticizing and take your negativity somewhere else and play your favorite Queen songs. They will always be there; that’s why they were recorded for…to live forever.

Adam isn’t even a pimple on Freddy’s ass!

No matter how good Adam sings, he will never come close to Freddie!!!!!!! Just to know. dear Brian!!!!! Freddie had the charisma, the gift, the magic, that nobody hasn°t!!!! He just came on the stage, opened his mouth and created a special aura for him and the band!!!!! And his talent to play on the piano, writing songs and music are amazing and timeless!!!! And it°s a shame to use the name Queen without Freddie and John!!!!!! It°s not fair at all, Freddie and John were always fair and loyal members!!!!!!! He would not do this like you!!!!!!! If Freddie and John were around, they could fresh enough the band, don°t worry!!!!! They could have many ideas to make new stuffs for sure!!!!!!!

great interviews, love Sammy Hagar.

Sammy Is there a more down to earth famous singer/rocker out there?! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

7:50 1987 Del Shannon doing Runaway with Paul was pretty awesome.

Great Elvis and James Burton pic

Freddie's voice is much wider and better than that of Lambert, no idea what Brian is talking about...

Sammy is by far the nicest down to earth former member of VH. I know Eddie had a tough upbringing not knowing English for the first few years etc in California, and Roth is a complicated person with a huge ego, but I'd rather have a beer with Sammy.

Their final album is one of there best! The show must go on.. brilliant! Having Steve Howe involved was fantastic

I would love to see these two play together. It would be awesome. His mind. and his mind. together. Co Writing together. it would be amazing sound.
